[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB can also offer courses in anthropology, econ, psych, environmental science, languages, etc. I'm sure you can take those as electives as well, but with IB, they'd be weighted classes. A CAP student can probably stack their schedule with AP classes for rigour and weighted grades, but an IB program has that built in to nearly every class. [/quote] FWIW, basically every HS class is weighted at this point. The CAP classes are all weighted, and then most kids are doing Honors or AP science, Honors or AP math, and AP world history or human geography. I'm not saying OP shouldn't choose Springbrook, but weighted GPA doesn't need to be one of the concerns. [/quote] Blair offers an extra period for CAP and SCMS students, so they can take even more classes to pad their GPA. Downside, you’re taking more classes. [/quote]
